Allison was born in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California and always has been an avid outdoor enthusiast and active athlete. She was a collegiate volleyball and track athlete while getting a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California in 2003. Allison was a Physical Education teacher before her husband, Brian, and she moved to Ames, Iowa in 2006. They lived in Iowa for 13 years before moving back to California to be back in the mountains and near the ocean with their boys.

Allison is excited to use her passion for movement, kinesiology and to help all walks of life find a way to live an active and healthy lifestyle. She enjoys helping people with bodily restrictions to find their full range of motion and dynamic mobility. As well as continuing to work with healthy fitness enthusiasts, weekend warriors, student-athletes and other active individuals to reach their goals. She knows there is nothing more rewarding than helping someone solve a challenge that has hindered their fitness goal through creative and dynamic mobility.
